Commissioned by the St. Olaf Choir for the 2016 St.

about our renewed hope and how light now shines
because Christmas is a new and refreshing gift; our
hearts are renewed, and our hope is renewed. This
joyful reflection was written for Christmas, but can
be sung at any time of year as a song of hope.
